Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the Enola Gay, has died at the age of 92.
As someone who might not have been born if the war hadn't ended when it did, my thanks to you, General.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

He named the aircraft Enola Gay after his mother. And from memory, a different Japanese city was the prime target but it was obscured by cloud.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think you are half-right. Hiroshima was the primary target on the first mission.
ReplyDeleteOn the second one (the bomber was "Bock's Car"), the primary target was Kokura. The aiming point was obscured, so they bombed Nagasaki.
